This meme is spreading like a sexually transmitted disease. Accept your shot of penicillin like a good f-list, okay? (Thanks, ![[personal profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png)
moonphased ! Next time I read your LJ entry I'm going to make you wear a condom...).
1. Grab the nearest book.
2. Open the book to page 123.
3. Find the fifth sentence.
4. Post the text of the next 3 sentences on your blog along with these instructions.
5. Don't you dare dig for that "cool" or "intellectual" book in your closet! I know you were thinking about it! Just pick up whatever is closest.
Okay.
"I gather from your reaction," says the Main Guy, "that this has been of interest to you as well."
Waterhouse wonders what his reaction was. Did he grow fangs? Drool into his coffee?
From "Cryptonomicon" by Neal Stephenson. He is one long-winded bastard. I don't know how I managed to luck out and get the shortest sentences in the book. I was really hoping page 123 might be part of his long description of Randy Waterhouse's method for eating Captain Crunch (which kills me because I have my own methods for eating certain breakfast cereals)...but that comes much later in the story.
I'm avoiding work again. :-/ Not good. I'm making those things that I hate having to make (rumdiculous , I know you can guess what!) and so I'm procrastinating. I'm just postponing the inevitable. *sigh*
And! In other news...Hurricane Chris? That's so...I don't know...polysexual? Is that a word? I mean, Christopher or Christine...but Chris? Could go either way. It's like Hurricane Pat. Yay for androgynous weather events.
